• Suitable for Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and superalloys

Longer tool life through advanced Tiger·tec Gold coating

The Tiger·tec Gold series combines a PVD coating with a robust base grade to deliver superior wear resistance and a stable cutting edge during interrupted cuts and high-temperature conditions. This coating technology reduces flank wear and thermal degradation, which extends tool life and lowers per-part tooling costs. For operations where predictable performance and fewer changeovers are priorities, the combination of coating and substrate ensures consistent component quality and reduces unplanned downtime, enabling more reliable batch runs and simplified inventory management.

Stable cutting and predictable chip control from refined geometry

The Parallelogram 75° format and the integrated G55 chipbreaker are engineered to control chip formation and rake behaviour in a wide range of feeds and depths. The insert’s 0.8 mm corner radius and 7° clearance angle support a good mix of strength and surface finish: the radius improves corner integrity under heavy engagement while the clearance angle prevents rubbing and reduces heat build-up. These geometric decisions translate into steadier tool forces and more consistent surface finishes, making the insert suitable for both roughing and semi-finishing applications where process stability and repeatability are required.

Versatile application range and efficient process integration

Belonging to the Tiger·tec Gold family and specified in tolerance class G, this grade is tailored for machinability groups P, M and S — that is, for Stahl, rostfreier Stahl and heat-resistant superalloys — providing a single, adaptable solution across mixed-material batches. The insert’s dimensions and standard ISO-style designation align with common cutter bodies, allowing straightforward retrofitting into existing tool systems and rapid replacement procedures. Choosing this insert supports productivity gains through fewer tool types on the shop floor and simplifies tool management without sacrificing component quality.
